Disposable wash cloth and method of using

Abstract

This invention relates to a disposable wash cloth. The disposable wash cloth includes an aqueous solution incorporated onto a basehseet. The aqueous solution includes a fragrance, at least one mild surfactant, at least one moisturizer, and at least one preservative. The disposable wash cloth is capable of being heated to a select temperature at least twice while maintaining chemical stability.

I claim:  
     
       1. A disposable article comprising: 
       a. a basesheet; and  
       b. an aqueous solution incorporated onto said basesheet, said aqueous solution including a fragrance, at least one arginine cocoate mild surfactant, at least one moisturizer, and at least one preservative,  
       wherein said disposable article when heated to a select temperature at least twice maintains chemical stability.  
     
     
       2. The disposable article of  claim 1  wherein said article is moist. 
     
     
       3. The disposable article of  claim 1  wherein said basesheet is a nonwoven. 
     
     
       4. The disposable article of  claim 3  wherein said nonwoven is formed from a blend of viscose-lyocell fibers and polyester fibers. 
     
     
       5. The disposable article of  claim 3  wherein said nonwoven is formed from a blend of rayon fibers and polyester fibers. 
     
     
       6. The disposable article of  claim 1  wherein said fragrance is molecularly entrapped within a cyclodextrin complex. 
     
     
       7. The disposable article of  claim 1  wherein said fragrance includes at least two aroma compounds, each of said aroma compounds having at least one base note which is thermostable up to at least about 75° C. 
     
     
       8. The disposable article of  claim 7  wherein at least one of said aroma compounds is an essential oil. 
     
     
       9. The disposable article of  claim 8  wherein said essential oil is ylang ylang, coriander, grapefruit, lavender, white thyme, mandarin orange oil, tuberose, jasmine, lavadin, galbanum, clove leaf, eucalytpus or geraniol. 
     
     
       10. A disposable article comprising: 
       a. a nonwoven basesheet; and  
       b. an aqueous solution incorporated onto said basesheet to form a moist basesheet, said aqueous solution including a fragrance, at least one arginine cocoate mild surfactant, at least one moisturizer, and at least one preservative,  
       wherein said article when heated to a temperature of from about 37° C. to about 75° C. at least twice maintains chemical stability.  
     
     
       11. The disposable article of  claim 10  wherein said nonwoven basesheet is formed from a blend of viscose-lyocell and polyester fibers. 
     
     
       12. The disposable article of  claim 10  wherein at least one of said mild surfactants is thermostable to at least about 75° C. 
     
     
       13. The disposable article of  claim 10  wherein at least one of said preservatives is thermostable to at least about 75° C. 
     
     
       14. A disposable article comprising: 
       a. a nonwoven basesheet; and  
       b. an aqueous solution incorporated onto said basesheet to form a moist basesheet, said aqueous solution including a fragrance having at least two aroma compounds, each of said aroma compounds having at least one base note which is thermostable up to at least about 75° C., and at least one of said aroma compounds is an essential oil, at least one arginine cocoate mild surfactant which is thermostable to at least about 75° C., at least one moisturizer, and at least one preservative which is thermostable to at least about 75° C.,  
       wherein said article when heated to a temperature of from about 37° C. to about 75° C. at least twice maintains chemical stability.  
     
     
       15. The disposable article of  claim 14  further comprising a skin lubricity agent. 
     
     
       16. The disposable article of  claim 14  wherein said article is chemically stable to heating of up to about 5 minutes from about 37° C. to about 75° C. in a sequence of two or more cycles. 
     
     
       17. The disposable article of  claim 14  wherein said article is chemically stable to heating at about 75° C. in a sequence of six cycles, each cycle having a duration of about 1.5 minutes.
